Second of Two Parts
LA MESA – It is just after 6 p.m. when the night shift and its supervisor sit down for the nightly briefing. On this night, this is what will stand watch for La Mesa. With a couple of exceptions, it is a very young crowd. Four patrol members, led by older officers, review the work of the day crew and hear the description of a car stolen at gunpoint just hours before. There is talk about a possible rape and increased suspicious activity in a city park. And then the officers are off.
Gary Moss, an ex-Navy avionics mechanic and one of the more mature men of this shift, climbs into his patrol car, clicks on his on-board computer and signals to the dispatcher as he leaves the new police station’s underground garage that he is on the road.
